The Bushland Trust This Trust set up by CBEC is
becoming an important player in habitat
protection in the Far North. Attracting funds
from a range of sources including tree sales to
tourists, it purchases trees from local nurserys
for its revegetation projects.
The Trust's first major
initiative is the Sweetwater Lakes project, a
point with DOC and the local community to protect
a series of beautiful dune lakes adjacent to 90
Mile Beach. The Trust is aiming to fund a habitat
protection gang for fencing and planting as well
as developing amenities such as the Sweetwater
Lakes walkway.
